Chapter 174 171: Invitation and Medicine Refining Hall (Large Chapter)
It's night.
In a quiet room.
Three pillars of calming requiem incense were lit, and smoke filled the small room. Feng Yan, an old man who was an alcoholic, sat cross-legged and entered a state of trance.
Along with the long breathing, spiritual inspiration from heaven and earth entered his body, and along with the special refining method, it was compatible with the internal force and transformed into a more powerful true energy.
Of course, the internal strength of traditional warriors cannot be as simple as breathing in and out of heaven and earth. Instead, they can break the bridge of heaven and earth with "Ren Du" and then incorporate the spiritual ideas into their bodies and integrate them with their internal strength.
However, the two channels of 'Ren and Governor' are not easy to connect. The reason why Feng Yan, an alcoholic old man, often fails to break through is because of this barrier.
Analyzing the specific reason, it is that his innate martial will is too weak, and the restraining effect on the spiritual power of heaven and earth is not strong, which leads to the failure of breaking through the realm.
As for why it was successful this time?
Of course, it was because Chu Zhou was right behind him, pouring a torrent of mana into his body, helping him forcefully open the 'Rent and Governor' meridians without interfering with the operation of his internal energy.
The infuriating energy refined by the drunkard old man using a special method is continuously sent into the 'Ren Du' second channel, thus maintaining the open state.
Over time, the state of connection between the two meridians of 'Ren and Governor' will become stable.
This method is really not something Chu Zhou has come up with through special research. It can only be said that after accumulating knowledge and cognition to a certain level, he naturally came up with the idea!
After about a quarter of an hour, Chu Zhou withdrew his hand.
He lowered his eyes slightly and looked at Feng Yan, whose breath had gradually stabilized. He waited for another cup of tea and made sure that there was no problem before he walked out of the retreat room.
Night,
The moon shines like water, and the sky is filled with stars.
Chu Zhou looked up at the sky, feeling the vastness of the universe and the vastness of the world, and his whole mind was broadened by it.
That night, he did not leave, but sat outside the quiet room, paying attention all the time.
After all, it was the first time to use it. It had not been tested in practice, and Chu Zhou was afraid that something might go wrong.
It wasn't until the light of day pierced the darkness that Feng Yan walked out of the quiet room. He had stabilized his realm. He looked ten years younger and his skin was glowing.
When he saw Chu Zhou, he stepped forward to salute gratefully and said, "Master Guan, I can't thank you enough this time."
Chu Zhou waved his hand: "Of course I have to complete everything I promised. However, after entering and setting off, are you in a stable state?"
"Don't worry, I've never felt so powerful!"
After a pause, Feng Yan asked again: "Master, I would like to ask you if it is possible to replicate this method of breaking through the realm? What is the success rate? Are there any sequelae?"
Chu Zhou raised his eyebrows and asked, "Old drunkard, what do you mean?"
"In Tianquan County, those who have perfected their marrow training, but cannot achieve innate abilities, are not just one or two!"
Feng Yan's eyes brightened, and he said with a smile: "I know that the master of the temple looks down on innate combat power, but as far as the entire Xuanzhen Temple is concerned, it is still excellent to serve as the backbone of the temple.
Not to mention other things, if there are twenty or thirty more innate warriors, and they can have their own people in every aspect, the strength of Xuan Zhen Guan will definitely increase greatly. ”
When Chu Zhou heard this, his eyes flashed slightly, and he was already considering the feasibility of this method.
"There is really room for maneuver in this matter, but it's a pity that Tianyuan Mansion's affairs are more urgent. Otherwise, it would be best for you, old drunkard, to stay and take care of this matter."
The old drunkard Feng Yan shook his head and said: "I don't have to do this. You can just let Wei Jinkui arrange it. He still has a lot of connections and knows a lot of people."
After a pause, he added: "Of course, I think this candidate must not only be selected from the martial arts community in Tianquan County, but also a group of disciples from Wenxiang Temple.
It's best to find some reasons and distribute them as merit, which can also make these people return to my Xuanzhen view. ”
"This is a good idea, I will seriously consider it."
Feng Yan was a little happy to get Chu Zhou's approval. He even raised the wine gourd and took a sip for himself.
However, he did not delay. He said hello and hurried out. Zhongli Linghui and the others were still waiting.
And Chu Zhou was not idle either. He first returned to his residence, washed up, and then Shi Shiran arrived at the Patriarch Hall.
Here, about thirty disciples of Xuan Zhen Guan have gathered. They are all carefully selected. No matter how strong they are, they can all use the 'Hegemonic' state and are at least proficient in one martial skill.
Fan Zhong shuttled among them, holding big red invitations in his hand. He clicked his name and sent them out. Some people only had one, while others had three or five.
While distributing the invitations, he also ordered: "These invitations are all ready. There is a piece of paper inside, which is the route of travel. As for the money, parcels and horses needed to go out, everyone has prepared a copy."< br>
"In a moment, you will take your own badge to collect it, because the routes are different and everyone's badge is different. Pick it up according to your own name, don't take someone else's."
"Furthermore, you guys have almost no experience in the world of martial arts. You must be careful, careful, and careful here!
The rivers and lakes are long and crowded, so don’t believe just anyone, let alone throw your own life away. ”
After rambling on for a long time, he saw Chu Zhou standing in front of the door. He smiled awkwardly and said, "The temple master is here. Let's ask the temple master to explain a few words."
Chu Zhou walked into the Patriarch Hall, raised his hand to take three pillars of fragrance, waved them casually, and lit up the flames.
He bowed three times, inserted the fragrance into the incense burner, turned around again, met more than thirty pairs of eyes, and said: "You are here to send the invitation this time. Although it is only a small matter, you can also arrange for others to go." .
But after careful consideration, I decided to let you go. The reason is very simple. Young birds always have to learn to fly, and young people always have to venture into the world and accumulate experience. ”
"Here, I want to warn you that martial arts are necessary to get around in the world, but in addition to martial arts, you also need to be scheming, cautious, well-informed, and have experience in the world."
"So, if you can go without causing trouble, don't cause trouble. If you can't stay, don't stay. If you lose your life, even if we avenge you, you will still die!"
Chu Zhou was impassioned and instructing from above, but someone below couldn't help raising his hand. He took a quick look and said, "Zhuang Chaofeng, right? What's your problem?"
"Master, I just want to ask, if someone provokes us, can we fight back?"
Chu Zhou glared and said: "You were kicked in the head by a donkey? Why are you practicing martial arts if you don't fight back?
What I mean is, don't beat someone to death easily, it won't end well, at most it will be half dead! ”
"Then if we encounter someone who bullies the market and commits crimes, will we care?" At this time, Gu Pingchuan asked:
Chu Zhou said matter-of-factly: "Then beat them to death first. If anyone stops me, I will show the Xuanzhen Temple's sign. If I don't give you an explanation, this matter will not be over!"
"If you encounter those who are playing tricks on you and want to kill people and silence them, remember this."
"If you can't hold back, you'll just kill him. If you can't beat him, you'll run away. If you can't escape, you'll seek shelter from the government and other sects.
When you return to Xuanzhen Temple, there will be teachers to help you seek justice. ”
"In short, when I'm away from home, I, a disciple of Xuan Zhen Guan, can eat anything, so I can't suffer any loss!"
The contrast was a bit big. Seeing the dumbfounded look of a group of people, Chu Zhou became furious and shouted: "Did you hear that?"
"I heard it!"
This time the answer was very neat and very encouraging.
"Then let's go."
With an order, everyone immediately lined up to pick up their luggage and went down the mountain in a mighty manner.
When passing by the martial arts arena, a group of little guys practicing martial arts looked at them with envy, jealousy and hatred in their eyes!
In the Patriarch Hall.
Chu Zhou watched them go down the mountain, smiled and said nothing, but Fan Zhong stood behind him and asked: "Master, there is really no need to send people to follow, these little guys don't understand anything?"
"What are you following? The waves are scouring the sand, and the only thing left behind is gold. They have to make their own way in this world." With that said, Chu Zhou added: "Notify the informants in various places. No need to pay attention to them, but pay attention to them. .”
"Ahem, okay, okay!"
Fan Zhong didn't hold down the corner of his mouth and couldn't help but pull it.
Chu Zhou rolled his eyes at him and said: "This apprenticeship ceremony will definitely be more grand and lively than the last time. There will be more people than less. Don't cause any trouble for me again!"
Fan Zhong stopped smiling, beat his chest loudly, and said: "Master, please rest assured. Mr. Hao has taught me so much, and the arrangements will be in order this time."
Chu Zhou nodded and then ordered: "You and Ji Mingqian should also communicate with each other. There will definitely be many warriors coming this time. Baisha City will definitely be affected. We must pay close attention to food, accommodation and public security."
After a pause, he added: "If it doesn't work, please ask Hao Songqing to step forward."
"Is the temple owner willing to let him go out?"
"Everyone from the Overlord Sect is gone. I can still protect this remnant of Wenxiangguan as long as it is not spread by everyone and everyone knows about it."
"Then I'll go talk to Mr. Hao right now."
Check out the 16-9 book bar and see the correct version!
Fan Zhong also left. Looking at his back, he looked a little brisk and a little eager.
Chu Zhou smiled and didn't say much. Even if some people are in deep trough, they still exude their unique charm.
Hao Songqing is this kind of person. Although he is not good at force, his ability in government affairs is full. He can really take care of all aspects and arrange them properly.
Compared with him, Fan Zhong can only be described as "childish".
However, I suddenly remembered that this apprenticeship ceremony also came from Hao Songqing's suggestion.
It's hard to say that the current situation was created intentionally by him.
If this is the case, then Chu Zhou's evaluation of him will have to be raised by another three points.
However, he doesn't care much. If he is willing to behave well, at least it will be good for Xuanzhen Guan.
Thinking like this, Chu Zhou did not stay at the Patriarch's Hall for any longer,
He turned around and went deeper into Xuanzhen Temple, turning left and right, and even passed through the construction site before arriving outside a courtyard.
Outside the courtyard, there are three big characters on the door - Medicine Refining Hall!
Before he even got close, Chu Zhou heard a dull explosion. It wasn't too violent, but the whole yard trembled.
He paused slightly and did not approach immediately. Instead, he pinched a few spells and saw a wave of magic power coming before disappearing from where he was.
——Spell, invisibility!
With silent footsteps, he walked into the courtyard and saw a four-eared pill furnace placed in the middle. The flame under the furnace was extinguished, the lid of the furnace was opened, and a puff of black smoke rose.
Four quite old men were surrounding the alchemy furnace, noisy and noisy. Xu Cheng was also nearby, a little at a loss.
Further away, there are many people who are busy picking up herbs, cleaning them, drying them, or grinding them.
"I think it's a matter of fire power. Qing Jing, your fire control technique is too crude. It won't work."
The speaker is an old man with white hair. He is quite old, but has a strong back and a strong voice:
The Qingjing old Taoist's face turned red with anger: "You can do it, you come up?"
The bald old man looked disdainful: "If I had magic power, I would still need you. It's so laborious to practice fire control. What qualifications do you have?"
The old Taoist Qingjing was about to argue when his neck was stiff. On the side, another skinny old man stroked his beard and said: "I think it's still a problem with the properties of the medicine. We don't have the elixir in the prescription. This substitute is always almost useless!"
While he was talking, he had already jumped into the alchemy furnace, scooped up the black medicinal residue, and tasted it with his mouth.
The bald old man was unconvinced and said: "Don't excuse Qingjing, it must be a problem with his methods."
"I think it's a problem with the alchemy furnace. Haven't you ever thought that the alchemy furnace is not a magic weapon?"
"I think it's still a question of the combination of medicinal properties."
"You have never considered that Taoist Qingjing is lying to us, and the so-called "Basic Alchemy" is nonsense."
"You are talking nonsense..."
"Your whole family!"
"Stop, stop, stop talking!"
Seeing that the four old men were about to start their martial arts training, Xu Cheng was very busy trying to persuade this and that.
In the end, Chu Zhou didn't dare to disturb them, walked around in a circle, and left.
Just kidding, if he shows up and is criticized by a few old men, it will annoy him to death!
However, Chu Zhou was quite satisfied with the establishment of this medicine refining hall.
It should be said that Qingjing Laodao was extremely fast. After Chu Zhou made the decision, he immediately wrote a letter and invited several "colleagues" over.
He was also scheming, and he revealed some knowledge about refining medicine and immortal cultivation in his letters, which immediately attracted his colleagues.
Facts have proved that there are no simple people who can achieve success in medicine.
Even if I just read the first volume of "Basic Alchemy", I have already understood that in the more than half a month that Chu Zhou and the others were studying boxing, they managed to create an alchemy furnace and also introduced the most basic knowledge. Qi Dan', the prescription was changed.
The elixirs recorded in "Basic Alchemy" may not exist in this world, and even if they do, their names are different.
How to interpret the prescription, how to replace the so-called elixir, how to mix it, how to balance the properties of the medicine, how to control the heat...
There shouldn’t be too much knowledge inside. Even if you change the prescription, you still have to try and experiment a little bit. This is not an easy thing!
Then, when these four old men were hanging around the alchemy furnace every day, they started to quarrel.
There's nothing I can do about it, colleagues, not friends.
Even if they are good friends, it is common for them to argue and hurt each other over nothing.
It can be said that after the signboard of the Medicine Refining Hall was hung up, it has never been stable.
Chu Zhou ran away quickly without any delay. He set up the cloud head and ran to the lonely peak again.
Here, Yi Huai, Fan Tiehu and Wei Fangjie are all here.
They were not practicing martial arts, but each of them was holding a manual and studying it. They were immersed in reading, each of them frowning, and they kept making gestures.
There is only one requirement from Chu Zhou for the four major minors. Everyone must choose one, at least one.
Needless to say, Xu Cheng was the perfect candidate for alchemy. In addition, he also dabbled in painting talismans.
As for the other three, they are trying one by one, striving to find the one they are most interested in and have the most talent for.
However, so far, it has not been decided yet.
Chu Zhou didn't care about them, but turned around and returned to his study.
In front of the desk, he laid out the paper, dipped the tip of his pen in ink, and after thinking for a moment, he wrote two words on the paper.
"System! Measure!"
A big chapter, but this is the first update, there will be more to come!
